HH to scrap off the proposed new salaries for the ministers

Share

Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) president, Hakainde Hichilema has said he would scrap off the proposed new salaries for the ministers and senior government officials.

“I will allocate the money meant for new salaries of ministers and others to civil servants, water improvement and other services,” he said.

Mr. Hichilema also said that he will not use his salary for himself if elected president of Zambia this month end.

Mr. Hichilema said the presidency was not there to make one rich but to provide service to the people of Zambia.

He said he already has a lot of money and therefore, there would be no need for him to draw a salary during the whole period he would serve as president of Zambia.

Mr. Hichilema said he would donate his salary to women and youth program for them to venture into various business activities.

Mr. Hichilema said to be a president was a serious business which required a strong and alert person, who would ensure there were better roads, clinics, schools and other necessities.

He has since urged Serenje residents to choose him as president in the October 30th, 2008 presidential election.

He said people should not elect people who have grown over retirement age.

Mr. Hichilema reiterated that his government will pay K3.5 million as a minimum salary for government workers.

He said starting from next school term, education will be free from grade one up to university level.

Mr. Hichilema alleged that the MMD did not have its own policy on agriculture and that what it was using now was a UPND policy.

He added that the ruling party had failed to achieve desired results in the agriculture sector because it was using a “borrowed” policy.

He said currently, there was widespread hunger in the country because people were failing to produce sufficient food due to alleged poor implementation of the “borrowed” agriculture policy.

The UPND leader said his first problem to tackle will be agriculture, adding that his government would for three years, provide free fertilizers to farmers so that they could produce more food.

Earlier, UPND provincial chairperson, Ferdinand Chipindi said time had come for the people of Zambia to change government.

Mr. Chipindi said the only person who could deliver goods and services to Zambians was Mr. Hichilema.

And provincial chairlady, Christine Lemba, urged women to rise and vote for Mr. Hichilema on October 30th this year.

Mrs. Lemba said women were the most vulnerable people in Zambia and hence the need for them to vote for Mr. Hichilema because he had their interest at heart.

  1. The only difference btwn HH and Obama, is that HH enriched himself using public and government property and revenue. That is common knowledge..

  2. Opportunistic ..that is all I have to say about this guy. That has been tried before. Join the queue, Kavindela is at the front of it. I wonder why the POST don’t cover him. Do they know something the rest of us DONT?

  3. Zambians, PRAY before VOTING because your VOTE determines your destine.Forget the issue of age or tribe but think and be honest to yourselves.Zambia has some how improved economically but now its up to your choice and your choice will matter.
    May the best candidate win

  4. HOUSE OF HORROR WENYE WA KO.
    YOU KEEP ON CHANGING.tamwayitambe bwino this time.go and use your man to help your relatives no lying to us. zwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  5. HH to do this and that…quit talking and get to work! We’re fed up with him already before he even enters office.

  6. Viva HH
    Viva Fresh Blood
    Viva New Ideas

    Vote HH Vote for a brighter future

    Viva Issue-based candidate

    HHHHHHHH ON 30-10-2008

  7. Zambia has alot of prospects.Most of them Politricks candidates don´t so as a voter,make your vote count.Hope they won´t be any rigging.In short,vote for HH
    Have to watch Man U vs W B A which is still nill all.

  8. Bull crap who would work for no pay u TB..stop the crap and start talking sense…money is never enough and will never be …

  9. PLEASE LET THE BIG MAN RULE US (SATA) WE ARE ARE FEDUP WITH NAMASOYA,IMAGINE 14 ESCOTE VEHICLES!ITS TERRIBLE.SATA PLEASE COME AND TELL HOW GOVT.MANAGE RESOURCES

  10. Magande has indicated that the GRZ is subsidising the fertiliser prices which RBB reduced from K200000 to K50000 using the 1.3 Billion Kwacha GRZ has as reserves. So if this K1.3 Bil is doing things Magande and the MMD are doing now, then ecHi-ecHi knows what he is talking about. ecHi-ecHi has K39 Bil of his personal family money which is approx. 35 times larger than the Governments reserves in 44 years. To this end, I see ecHi-ecHi using his own money to give free fertilisers for 3 years if the RGZ one under his leadership does not suffice.This is serious and true SERVICE the Zambians can believe in.
    Zambians vote for ecHi-ecHi as Zambian President to bring in uncorrupted new leadership.

  11. some zambians behave like kids, you can easly convince them that its day time whet its 23hrs in the night!!!! sata has been in govt and still convinces some people that he is the best candidate. come on zambians lets do the right thing just one more time by voting for HH, sata is MMD and they have failed US!!!!!!!!

  12. For the sake of National Development qnd economic independence, I am appealling to all Presidential Candidates to think carefully of there position and let HH develop Zambia.
    If Sata is what is not needed at Plot 1, let RBB humble himself and endorse ecHi-ecHi immediately.
    If it is the MMD people do not want and change is needed immediately with hope of True National Development, let Sata tell all Zambians to vote for ecHi-ecHi as he withdraws from the race.
    There is a lot of time remaining for both RBB or Sata to make this bold decision to move Zambia in a forward manner.
    Count-down: 12 days and we are counting.
    Vote ecHi-ecHi the Zambian President to-be

  13. INE NIFUNA WAMENE UYU MUTONGA!! LETS SEE IF HE WILL CREATE WEALTH FOR ZAMBIA LIKE HE DID FOR HIMSLF ………. HH FOREVER HE BIS LIKE OBAMA!!!!!!

  14. The problem with Zambian politics is that it is taken as career where people can make quick money. But it should not be take like that politician are suppose to sacrifice not to make a living out the poor tax payers. we need to be reminded that getting into politics is not the easy way to make ourselves rich.

    Viva HH

  15. Both RBB and Sata are UNIP and MMD at the same time. They are way past retirement age. RBB thinks he will do what late LPM did of being installed by a corrupt system, but later you clamp down on them. However, this strategy will not work this time around for corrupt elements are dynamic. They have seen what the late LPM did and now they have adapted to the situation. These corrupt elements will not be easy to chase away from you, RBB. Please, let selfness end and give new blood the Power to continue where you will leave things as Vice President. Former South African President Thabo Mbeki has shown us all africans that you can do good to democracy by leaving others to carry on from your part.

  16. Ewee!!!!!! chibweeee!!!!! charity we not need Zambia has alot of resourses which are been miss managed by the like of HH and RB.

  17. ecHi-ecHi has proved that he is able to REALLY move Zambia forward, even in difficult circumstances. The man ecHi-ecHi has made a 57% increase of his familys money in 2 years in an environment which is hostile to his business ventures since he is in the opposition. We have seen Billionaires like BY lose track when support of the GRZ of the day was not with them since they went into the oppostion, but ecHi-ecHi has managed to ride above alleged petty GRZ manuvours to collapse his investments. This is enough information to show every Zambian that ecHi-ecHi means business will do his best to resuscitate the ailing Zambian economy after the death of late LPM and a few strides we made in 7 years

  18. Rejected Banda dont compare ZIM and ZED Zim is at the stage we voting KK against a FROG. ZED is quite advanced and is trying to much or see the way of the USA stile. Cash is the only draw back. For ZED free and fair election is like that of the USA

  19. HH has messed up is opoturnity come 2011 other chaps will come up. and it matters who supports you. Come to CB and analyse what we need done. And start your campaign from that note. If need more advise from me you are well come. Talk to me

  20. What HH has indicated is doable. 4 da uninitiatd, Dipak Patel neva used 2 get a pay 4 da service 2 da nation. Zambians work up en redeem yoselvs fm poverty. Vot wisely vot HH.

  21. 35. MM

    HH DON’T U LIE TO US CAUSE ALL I KNOW IS MONEY IS NEVER ENOUGH, U STILL NEED MONEY. THIS IS WHAT CANDIDATES OWEZ PROMISE AND ONCE THEY GET INTO POWER THEY SHOW TRUE COLOURS, PLS TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.

  22. #Charity is what we live on and charity is what we will continue living on if we dont vote wisely. Women of Zambia its up to you- Me mrs hh is confortable am just looking after your and your childrens interests. So vote for HHHHHHHHHHH

  23. Someone advise please
    If The private media ie post only advertise Sata why is it such a big deal when the gov owned media publicies more of there own candidate.
    I am of ther opinion that for as long as there is this big gap between private and public media there will always be this problem

  24. ecHi-ecHi s candidature in this election is the best thing Zambia has ever been given as an opportunity to go forward in economic emancipation. Let the grandparents RBB and Sata leave ecHi-ecHi to rule Zambia. in fact, they may go in history books as people who helped Zambia make meaningful strides in development – should one of them endorse ecHi-ecHi as early as now.
    Please, I am asking all normal Zambans who can help one of these candidates see the sense in my posting to speak to RBB or Sata immediately. There is no need to envision Parliamentary elections if all of us act bravely and honestly just now in this 12 days. ecHi-ecHi is the man and he needs all Zambians’ support right now.

  25. #41, please I did not insult you anyway and I expect insults to stop at your posting right now. I all my postings, there is nowhere I indicqted that ecHi-ecHi is the richest Zambian. I am on record making mention that ecHi-ecHi has made a 57% increase of his 2006 declared money in approximately 2 YEARS. So please, we have Zambian children and young people who read stuff on LT and desperately need role-model from us older people. In this light, I urge you to check your tone of language on LT for we are in a hurry to develop good and sound mindsets in our Zambian chuldren so that they will not depart from good values when they will be your age.
    Vote for ecHi-ecHi to move Zambia forward.

  26. #26 BRIAN. BE SERIOUS MAN. WHICH OBAMA? NOT THE AMERICAN OBAMA. OBAMA DOES NOT STEAL, OBAMA DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY RACE (OR TRIBE). HE IS AMERICAN, FULL STOP.

    DON’T DEGRADE THE NAME IN OBAMA.

  27. No need to ask any one to step down or endorse other iwee Maestro Hhehhehhehhe. The zambian will endorse cheap and folish campaign.

  28. “40, the POST Newspaper is currently Sata’s MOUTH-PIECE. The POST can not supprot ecHi-ecHi seriously because they are the ones who painted the UPND and ecHi-ecHi as a Tribal. Besides, the POST has some hidden agenda and dealings obviously which they know the ecHi-ecHi or Brig. Gen. Miyanda do not subscribe to. So, why should they care to support people that will put them to task and ridicule on former lies in their editions after the elections.
    Even the Holy Scriptures, ie Bible, indicate that what has light go to do with darkness. The 2 can not mix unless the other, darkness in the Bible case, changes.
    It is this plain simple. ecHi-ecHi is too good for the POST’s way of doing things.

  29. #49, there is absolutely no need for you to go very emotion and show all bloggers with the whole world that your upbringing is questionable. What f o o l i s h campaigns have I done on here? Please, reflect for a minute before r a n t i n g outbursts that show your calibre of attitude. I believe that most Zambians came from homes and not mere buildings called houses. Hava a good day or night depending on where you are.

    Vote ecHi-ecHi.

    Phew

  33. I have just attended sata/hh rallies in KABWE! Hamacheche was talking of his money 2/3rd of the time! Guys,the boy is dangerous! U should have seen the little crowd of tonga herdsmen and women! I had to drive away copletely out of place! There is tribalism in the air. God how i hate that word!

  35. I agree that Zambia (and Africa, and the world) need new ideas to replace the neoliberalism’s disastrous PDF (‘privatisation’, deregulation, ‘free’ markets).

    On corruption, it is really what the politician does in office that I am interested in. If someone takes 1% of GDP in graft, but lifts up all the people from $285 per year on average, to $6000 per year, then he can take whatever he or she wants. 🙂 But if they do not, then they’re just thieves.

    What we have seen too much of, is politicians who do not know what to do with power. Getting into office and staying there has become the objective. Let’s look at their professional careers.

  36. The new world is several linked global places (villages), leaders like Sata and RB can not imagine how to strategise in these environments to benefit our Country. HH for all his weaknesses as done this since he was managing partner of the predecessor today’s Grant Thorton.

    True, BY and others including Capt Chewe have failed to maintain their businesses in the light of GRZ manipulation (simple uncomplicated means to curtail). ZED needs a man who clearly understands the investors of all colors and how their markets operate. Try explaining the rationale behind UK/US recent nationalisations to Sata or RB. I bet they will imagine it is buying CR carriers to keep the profits for GRZ!

  37. If we scrutinize the candidates,we will find that they realy dont have anything to offer.so we use the litmus test. Who is a little more acceptable to all or main provinces? Who would run away to his “offshore” accounts if the country failed? Who would refuse prosecution that he is too old if he incited the peasant to kill,maim or “cleanse”society? The answer is in our hands! Zambia belongs to all

  38. The only man to deliver we suffering Zambians out of our sorrows. Let us do what is right for us by voting for HH. HH for president, Zambia forward!

  39. Bloggers # 54 to 59 you are all very cheap tribalists. Besides non of you is a voter, since like me, you are all out of Zed. Let people with senses contribute on this blog not the likes of you with hatred written all over your faces. Just work hard and make money like he has other than habouring jelousy.

    ndalumba

  42. please stop tribal hatred…today its on the blog, next day it will be on the streets. Lets keep zambia as peaceful as it is. This Tonga Vs Bemba atangonism makes me sick!

  43. plesea can you advise HH to stop embarrasing his family and his tribe becoz come what may HH WILL NEVER rule zambia unless his grave where he will be alone.i would rather vote cosmos and his deputies castro chiluba and lukuku.tongas please be serious remove that dull chap HH to avoid another catastrophy…that ninnies boy HH.

  44. #71, are you saying that HH is for Tongas and Sata is for Bembas and RB is for Ngonis, what about other tribes without candidates, who should they vote for?

  45. CAN SUM CHAPS BEHIND HH ADVISE HIM TO SPEND HIS MONEY ON EMULATING POST EDITOR MEEMBE BY BUYING A HAMMER 3 THAN ENRICHING CADRES WHO WUD END UP REDUCING HIM TO GODFREY MIYANDA OR LATE ALONE TO NOTHING.

  46. I am disappointed with Zambians. They are still thinking of voting for Micheal Sata. HH is the best candidate but no, Zambians don’t want the best, they want the worst.

  47. People we only have one Zambia. By voting for Sata you will be giving us a Zimbabwe. We don’t want another Zimbabwe.

  48. Sata has never even thought about the future of Zambia. Sata has been in govt since UNIP and MMD and yet he has never carried out any developmental projects and Zambians still want to feed on his lies.

    HH thinks about the future. He has a true vision for this country and it is too bad that Zambians will not see that. Many Zambians are just jealous of his wealth. Don’t forget HH run successful companies in Zambia at a time when inflation was in double digits and the economy was in negative growth. Imagine what he can do for the Zambian economy. Zambians vote wisely.

  49. Those of u voting Sata and rupyia are totally sick. For some of u when u were born Sata and Rupyia have been in politics and the world around u have not changed significantly. So why vote for either, wake up time is moving it’s not stagnate. Zambia needs ambicious leaders, not people who use worlds to suite them when they so wish. Vote wisely.

  50. The chap is not facing the facts of life. That’s what he says he’s going to do…but what of the MPs? Are they for it? Does he have Sata’s reputation and strength to go it solo? These are the kicks of the dying horse! Power is so sweet, see how much the young man brags he’s ready to sacrifice. Zambians, titenkanye posanka maleaders … Ndiya anyandule amene!

  51. WELL CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT HH WAS DOING WHEN 1) SATA WAS GOVERNER OF LUSAKA IN WHICH HE BUILT THE 3 BRIDGES LEADING INTO TOWN CENTER 2) SATA WAS GOVERNER IN WHICH HE ENSURED AND PIONEERED THE KEEP LUSAKA CLEAN CAMPAIGN THAT SAW LUSAKA BEEN NOTED AS THE CLEANEST IN ZAMBIA 3) SATA WAS FIGHTING TOGETHER WITH LEVY AND FTJ FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF MULTIPARTY DEMOCRACY 4) SATA WAS ENSURING THE SANE RUNNNING OF LOCAL COUNCILS WHEN HE WAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT MINISTER 5) SATA AS MINISTER OF HOUSING BUILT AVONDALE MERZAF EVEN PHI WAS SATAS INITIATIVE 6) SATA AS MINISTER OF HEALTH ENSURED UTH WAS UPTO STANDARD 7) SATA AS MINISTER OF HEALTH ENSURED ALL CLINICS HAD MEDICATION 8) SATA AS MINISTER WITHOUT PORTIFOLIO HELD THE COUNTRY TOGETHER WHEN THE COUNTRY FACED THE GREATEST THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY IN 1997..chiluba fleed…9) SATA AS MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENSURED THERE WAS NO PISSING OR SPITTING IN STREETS AND ENCOURAGED SOMETIMES ENFORCED CLEANLINESS 10) SATA AS MINISTER WITHOUT PORTIFOLIO ENSURED THE PRUDENT RUNNING OF CABINET……..WHERE WAS HH? UNTIL HH CAN HAVE THOSE ATTRIBUTES….I WILL SUPPORT MICHAEL SATA……

  52. ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ubwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  53. Iam wondering whether this Zambian billionaire has not been touched by the Credit Crunch. Billionaires all over the world are struggling to keep count of the dwindling billions. Where has he invested the money? How many cows has he got in his kraal in Magobo village? Has got real money or some imaginary wealth??

  54. Hichilema says “the ruling party had failed to achieve desired results in the agriculture sector because it was using a “borrowed” policy”.
    I WOULD PRESUME THAT THIS “BORROWED POLICY” MUST BE REALLY BAD BECAUSE IF IT WAS AS GOOD AS HH CLAIMS, IT SHOULD HAVE PRODUCED ITS INTENDED RESULTS REGARDLESS OF WHO IMPLEMENTS IT.
    hh, why don’t you keep your baseless promises to yourself. Are you going to use your money to fund the whole education system of Zambia? This is bull.

  55. # 1(Ml6), comparing HH to Obama? I can’t believe you just did that. The difference between the two is like the distance between east and west.

  56. HH is Zambia’s Barack Obama but unfortunately the people are going to vote for maniacs in Zambia (Sata) like they will in the states (Maccain).

  57. HH has clean wealth. But of course thieves will never believe that one can accumulate wealth in a clean way because the only way tyhey know is through stealing. No I is one of them

  58. Free-Market-Capitlst you are a genius. Like you i can not sit back and watch Zambia being destroyed by the likes of SATANA. Sata has senile dementia just like Mugabe. Vote HH

  59. #88 YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE ARE MORE COMPARISONS BETWEEN SATA AND OBAMA THAN HH AND OBAMA…….1) both sata and obama have experience in politics….sata with over 20 years and obama with just over 10 years…… 2) both sata and obama have done somethings in the past their not proud of….obama was a drug dealer involved in various crimes and sata did things he was directed to do by chiluba… 3) both sata and obama are considered the most charismatic politicians in their respective countrys… 4) both sata and obama have openily critisised wrong policies by ruling governments….. 5) both sata and obama have reservations on chinese foreign policy 6) both sata and obama have been critized and persecuted to some extent by ruling party 7) both sata and obama are openily confessed smokers…………what are the similarites between obama and hh? btw obama only has a degree in law and POLITICAL SCIENCE……underline POLITICAL SCIENCE…..

  60. FINALLY MY MAN. PEOPLE WHO WILL DIE UNSUCCESSFUL WILL ALWAYS BE BLAMING YOU FOR FAILING AT SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY AND BUSINESS. WE WON’T BE COWARD NOT MATTER THEIR PROPAGANDA. ALL THOSE WHO POINT DIRTY FINGERS AT YOU ARE FROM ONE PART OF ZED…FORWARD HHH HHH

  61. do not blem ur selves this time u have eyes but opt to close them at least listen hh is richer than al plunderers are poor people do u not think one day u wil vote for a church mouse

  62. I did not see this famous Sata’s recent photos until i saw saturday’s post front page .Imwe mwe bantu sure you want that man to be heard of state? Mulwele and he doesn’t look different to the people behind him “villagers” .He is diminishing like ice in the sun.
    Vote another state funeral

  63. choma 1 u check urself
    and u bloggers take heed remember to contribute positively and attack HH maturely not just doing so even when u ve nothing to say.
    Want or not the Guy is winning anyway. Start calling ur relatives nd get what is on the ground in zambia. Sata has nothing to offer zambia apart frm comedy

  64. 97 where have I attacked hh?hh is my good man although governace is above friendship,I dont chose winners of elections but the electorates will chose a leader.

  65. I will soon release a preliminary pattern of the would-be 30th October 2008 Presidential results. Keep watching.

    Its ecHi-ecHi the man oof the moment only and no one else.

  66. My advice to HH is that he first returns the funds he syphoned from his frivolous involvement in the privatisation exercise.Don`t start cheating people what you intend to clean up once in power when your past is tainted with much dirt.

  67. If you want to vote for continuity, vote for RB who will continue the policies of all 3 previous presidents: the subsidies on various products, the legacy of brown envelopes, and the bumbling ineptitudes. If you want to vote for the country to be run in the interests of the IMF/World bank and foreign powers, then vote for HH. If you want to vote for change, action, and restoring Zambians’ pride, then vote for Sata. The choice is yours.

  68. In the present circumstance; Sata is best fit. Circumstance in Zambia is a) we think the 6% growth will not falter against copper prices movements – wrong, nothing is predictable on this earth b) we think Sata under KK; and under Chiluba = Sata under Sata, wrong. c) We think education is the sole driver for political achievement, again wrong. In the present circumstance, Sata is best fit. Among the 1,2,3 = Sata even in his worst moment, is still the best. There are things under these carpets which need to be cleaned. Zambian leaders have had a joy ride on the people for too long. That is why they hated LPM; and opposed hsi coming. Sata will be clean up where Levy left off.

  69. ecHi-ecHi, confirmed reports reaching my central command post indicate HH leading by a very large margin against all his competitors.

    Vote for the might UPND’s HH for a real Zambia who will cause the Zambians to move with their heads high wherever they will go in this world – for Zambia will become a Model Country under HH’s leadership.

  70. Guys in Zed we have a big problem. Let me start by saying that I am Ngoni and can’t vote for RB or Sata because I don’t believe in recycled material. I don’t believe in tribalism and besides tongas are united.Let us not be afraid of change.Weren’t we all uncertain of what Mwanawasa would bring.

  71. Big ups #106. Only educated and cultured people would reason the way ou have done. Keep up the spirit and Zambia will developed if we continue having people of your calibre.

  72. #46 How could you imagine HH to be a richest Zambian? Zoowona uku kulila ku Mumbwa lishamo. How can you count cows as riches? This is the sign of how poor and inferior Zambians feel of themselves. But if that farmer HH start paying K3.5m pin for civil servants, I will definately trek back to my former job.

  73. The rest can vote the way they want but those who believe in the core values and leadership of HH shall vote for him.If Southern Province vote for HH and decides so for so may decades to come, until he resigns, so let it be!!!

  74. Well boys and girls, looks like we have ourselves a real predicament. There are really just four viable candidates; Sata, RB, HH, and Brig.Gen. Miyanda. So do we go for the tried and tested ot the new kid on the block. All four politicians have skeletons in their cubboards and even more graveyards we all know about.Sata,RB had their time serving in UNIP and MMD.sata especially was a very high-level member of both governments.Their failure was his failure.RB is the same. Gen. Miyanda is a man who couldnt even gather 200 people for his nomination, so lets not go there. HH whether he would be “Commander-n-thief”? lets see.At the moment he seems the most credible of the candidate. VoteWISELY

  75. Guys and girls, ladies and gentemen, ecHi-ecHi is yet to visit the Zambian economic giant Southern Province to campaign and the trading hub Lusaka District/Province.

  76. THIS IS SATA`s ELECTION TO LOSE

    Mongu eagerly awaits Sata
    By Inonge Noyoo
    Mongu eagerly awaits Michael Sata’s arrival and rally as everything here is now mwa mukolo, opposition Patriotic Front (PF) Western Province campaign leader Vivian Mubukwanu disclosed yesterday.

    Mubukwanu, who is camped in the province for purposes of campaigns, said PF has gained grip in Western Province and the MMD had been uprooted and was almost non-existent in the Western Province.

  77. ecHi-ecHi will p r o b a b l y n o t s p e n d m u c h of his c a m p a i g n i n g time in two the above mentioned but will be just be p a s s i n g t h r o u g h from time to time to s e c u r e his votes as he cotinues to c o n s o l i d a t e his vote numbers from Rural Areas in the other provinces e s p e c i a l l y t r i b a l Luapula, Northern and CB provinces. ecHi-echi has been meeting people who vote. Just the way ecHi-echi has managed to increase his profits in investments by 57% in 2 yrs, he (ecHi-ecHi) will do it even for the Presidential election votes. Watch the space. Once and m o n k, always a m o n k.

  78. If we a s s u m e that the voter’s register of 2006 is used in this Presidential election and the c e n s u s 2000 numbers obtained from the CSO, the following (next posting) is what would appear as final results. In fact, in looking at the Kanchibiya 2008 MP election results, I expect this to be close to the reality that will happen at the end of it all:

  79. Province Registered Voters HH RBB Sata
    CB- 625505 118846 106335,9 369048
    Lsk- 592511 183678,4 254779,7 124427,3
    Southern- 503221 452898,9 45289,89 20128,84

    TOTAL 3940020 1401447 1033664 1331911
    HH would win nicely.

  80. Since, the above results use a model where there are no spoiled ballots, I now give you the percent numbers which will reflect a pattern that will most likely be seen on November 4, 2008:
    Province % HH %RBB %Sata
    CB- 19,00001 17,00001 59,00001
    Lsk- 31 42,9999 21
    Southern- 90 9 4
    Eastern- 1 98 4
    Northern- 2 3 66
    Central- 48 8 42
    Western- 71,9999 28 1
    Luapula- 1 1 100
    Northwestern- 89 1 5
    TOTAL 35,57 26,23 33,8

    countdown: 11 days remaining and we are counting.
    HH tipped to win the 30th october 2008 Presidential elections by credible and trustworthy data analysis though still premature at the moment but will be correced in time I think.

  83. my dream is to win all the promises from the political parties. Zambia is nice condering the pipo behaviours towards election. Vote with open eyes and wait for the next King.

  84. Province Bemba% Tonga% NWP% Barotse% nyanja% mambwe% Tumbuka% other% Total%
    Zambia as whole 0,326666667 0,164444444 0,12 0,097777778 0,192222222 0,045555556 0,028888889 0,024444444 1

  85. So here is my first impressive proof that the POSTNEWSPAPER, current mouthpiece for Sata, does report news truthfully but without making mention of the exact factors on the ground. In one of their actilces on Rupiah Banda and Tribal voting, the POST indicated that the Bemba population in Zambia is at 43% while the Tonga one is at 17%. Quite rightly the POST gave us a correct number for the Tonga group but deliberately gave us an unfinished representation of the Bemba one (43% = 32.6% Bemba + 9.78% Mambwe) figures. Take note that all the smaller tribes and languages like Namwanga and Bisa have all been included in the Bemba language calculation.
    I have full confidence in this presentation.

  86. Looking at how GRZ monies is spent recklessly e.g use of three aeroplanes by RB etc etc, I concur with HH’s calculations that there is enough money to provide free education up to University level improve agriculture. Like it or not HH has more vision than his counter parts and his calculations are 99.999% correct. The same resentment happened to Mazoka on free eductaion until facts were laid bare of Chiluba and Chungu’s plundering machine, the money of which social services, education and agriculture could have benefitted. We will regret if Sata or RB take over. Watch the space.

  87. In most cases politicians do not mean what they say.HH is lying and all tongas know it. Can he honestly say come next there will be free education from elementary and/or primary to university level when the university is just coming from closure over salaries,meal allowances and poor infrastracure. I have been to South Africa which is Africas biggest economy there is no free education and they have many unviversities and colleges that are even much better than UNZA,CBU and Mulungushi.And this crap about not using his salary is just mere politicking the guy is stingy what makes you he can donotate money to the people when he becomes president when has has failed to do so in his life

  88. I am not suprised tongas are full of stories no wonder they marry more than wife. The only way you can get a girl is by telling her sweet things that she can not refuse. But i think Zambia is not supposed to be treated lie that. First he has to say that he will improve the physical face of the universities and build schools and then may be we may have free education,but i still doubt it because Zambia need a complete economic overhaul. In Kuwait there is free education from grade one to university becasue the government there is rich, here it is vice versa the government depends on people.So before HH starts lying i would advise him to be real and not to make fake promises

  89. #127, I have been to South Africa too? In what terms are those SA universities better than UNZA?
    Besides that, it is food you have been and are in SA right now (flag), tell me if the Zimbabwean government, in its current state of inflation problems, does not sponsor its Citizens to South Africa for studies in SA universities for free? Tell me, if Botswana does not sponsor its Citizens to study in South African universities and whole over for free? If the Zimbabwean govern can sponsor outside its own country, why can’t Zambia offer free education upto universities in Zambia and not elsewhere for free? By the way, I am ready to back my facts on this issue!

  90. #127,128 jay jay, I am now asking you to be real and provide answers to #129 following your Kuwait exampla and Zimbabwe. Please, be real!

  91. MH you are very right these governments do sponsor their citizens for free and i think our does that too except may be only for a few that are related to some gov officials. I like your comments but we really need to be realistic about this free education thing. Because you and i know that there is a lot that needs to be done bfore we reach the free education era. What are i am not agreeing with is that this will be in force next school term which means january mmmmm bakalamba pilizi bushe kwana chishinka ichi

  92. MH #131.I do know well and good that there is free education in Kuwait from G1 to University like i mentioned Kuwait is a very wealthy country it takes care of it’s people i do not know so much about Zim that is why i would appreciate if you could educate me on that one. One more thing about Kuwait is that women there do not vote, and when you are getting married they will give you a money say $12000.00 half is the gift form governemnt and the other half is an interest free loan. You mentioned about Botswana , this country is equaly rich and does not depend on it’s people like our does that is why they can afford to sponsor their citizens. My brother you and i want the same thing for Zed

  93. MH #131 i am patiently waiting for your advise and response on free education. God knows we really need. But there is also need for the politicians to be genuine when making promises to the pipo. HH’s proises are just not work despite the 39bn of his own money. If he wont use his salary becoz he as money why then hasnt he emulated Bill Gates by establishing a charitable organisation that can help the underprivileged, the truth MH is because he can not. The chap is full of himself that’s it

  94. HH our savior! hope the people of Zambia will see this come October because we need you to clean our dirty country. Zambia forward!

  95. #131 through to 133, thanks for acknowledging that my data is up todate. Sorry, I was held up in a parallel thread on RBB and Sata Analysis by Mingeli Palata. Anyhow, I am going to look for the Zim data and will post it for you in due time. You see and know what, my fellow citizen Jay Jay! I like to base all my arguments of data and credible data to showcase my point. I do not like speculations.

  96. #131 through to 133.
    Infayakiti (In fact), I hate lies or telling lies.
    On HH’s promises, I tell you the truth this Presidential mandate will last only 2 – 3 years.

  97. #131 through to 133.
    If HH f a i l s to d e l i v e r o n h i s p r o m i s e s, he can be shown the door out of Plot 1 in 2011.

  98. #131. HH w o r k e d on c o n t r a c t s, privatisation of National businesses, to a s s i s t GRZ and knows where the money is, Jay Jay.

  99. #131.
    Ask yourself a simple question, if GRZ has no money to spend on useful projects for national development, where is this election money for campaigns and doing all sorts of subsidies coming from? HH is an economist, I am partly an economist though largely and originally a Physicist. HH is serious, we can do it only that we can do it better. YES WE CAN!

  100. JAY JAY

    Free education is a good policy. Zambia cannot develop without having educated people to run the economy (and I don’t mean govt). The Asian tigers (South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, etc) invested heavily in education and they experienced more growth in a period of 30 years what took the industrial powers over 50 years to achieve.

    Free education is a policy that will drive the Zambian economy into this middle income country that everyone seems to be talking about. It is very much feasible. [tbc]

  101. [cont]

    I am sure you remember reading those news stories of money remaining idle. Untouched and not used in the development of the communities. That money can be used in the implementation of free education.

    Also the money that is being proposed for the salary increment can also be used in the implementation of free education.

  102. 128. Jay Jay
    “I am not suprised tongas are full of stories no wonder they marry more than wife”.
    FUNNY GUY, THE TRUTH IS THAT LADIES LOVE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE, HANDSOME ONES. WHICH CANDIDATE DO YOU THINK CAN HAVE A MARKET WITH LADIES? LOOK AT THEIR FACES!

  103. [cont]

    And I just want to make a short comment on the salary thing. As you can read, HH said giving the salary to the youth so they can start business ventures but unfortunately Zambians cannot see any sense on that comment and have selective hearing.

    Don’t forget HH was for allowance increments for UNZA students, HH was the one who was pushing govt to fund and keep NCZ running and HH is sponsoring some students at UNZA (based in hearsay)

  104. nipa zanja chabe for real change and development!!HH my man…keep up and let them cry and wail coz they buggers are hungry like RB and satana!!!VIVA HH…..stana over my dead body to be presido!

  105. Ladies and Gentle they issue of free education till University is really not posible. We have free education now til the 9th grade and guess what? its not working out! Are we looking at Quality of Quantity of Education here. HH is lieind and does not understand issues and Iam a registered Voter who will vote for sa man who talks sense and that is MR SATA

  106. Talk is cheap. Who have eyes to see will see who de real revolutionary is! My people, don’t be tricked by vampires…dem humble in the daytime and at night dem sucking de blood of de sufferahs! Whip dem Jah Jah!

  107. 3.5million ZMK as minimum salary for civil servants, free fertiliser, free education up to UNZA!!! The very thing that brought Zambia to its knees under KK’s UNIP.This is panic.HH dont panic, lose your cool and and start making brazen promises which defy your own UPND’s thrift management philosophy, economic theory and painful historical lessons. A pact with Sata’s PF in this by election (with an undertaking by Sata to back you in 2011)would have given you a the 2011 poll with a landslide. But alas the political miscalulation will be costly to surmount. Opportunity knocks only once.All is lost can/will only viewed from the rear view mirror as history.

  108. actually i don’t see a reason why we must be attacking and pointing fingers on one another. i suppose the best way of stopping sufferings in our beautiful zambia is to go cast your vote wisely and change our beautiful country for better

    zambians i urge you please lets not behave as if we are not intellect people we are the best remember that

  109. Sata should have been considerate to his heart problems and leave Given Lubinda to test the race for Plot 1. Even Dr Chishimba would have been a better PF Presidential candidate even if he was going to be the least experienced in trying the Presidency of Zed.
    Hunger for Plot 1 made Sata to forget about his alleged appointment for medical review in SA on the 29th Ocober 2008 – a day before the Presidential elections.
    HH has done a very good job by not supporting corrupt elements and deciding to solve Zambia’s problems right now so that HH can serve as Zambian President for 8 years until 2016 when HH will be 54 years – just near 55 yrs, a retirement age for all civil servants.

  110. Some 1 says their is free education in kuwait? You tongas must stick to lusala and mundyoli eating. Check the website of ministry of edu kuwait and see how much your fellow pupils pay for their scores! Dont run your mouth on things u dont know. The only good tonga, is a dead tonga!

  111. #154. Or you havent fully awakened from sleep?
    Learn to read and understand before writing useless things, “Wafwa na panga”

  112. HH, the man would make a good deputy minister for agriculture, but presidential materil NO WAY! He is not saleable countrywide just like bwezani who enlists the help of muzungu image builders… could he not find someone local, who understands context, they use a ministry of health vehicle in mbala which means at that time, a patient needing referral could not get transport immorAL!!!!!!! pa bwato

  113. HH IS THE BEST MAN FOR ZAMBIA. SATA IS OLD, UNHEALTHY, ARROGANT, GIVES ZED AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE, AS FOR RB, HE IS IN SHOCK AS EVERYTHING HAS COME HIS WAY ON A SILVER PLATA. RB IS NOT FIRM AS A LEADER AND TOO OLD FOR MODERN POLITICS. VIVA HH!

  114. These tongas have “mad cow”desease! Injested through mabisi..for me killing a tonga would be like killing a roach! I hate these creatures. Maestro hhehhe am cuttin off your stupt head by nov 30! Stupd roach!

  115. Although we all work for money, it should not be exhobitant. Let us look at the prite of the poor we all claim to be serving. HH is right when he says that part of that money should be taken to other deserving sectors because the leaders are already paid highly and are also entitled to heft allowances. Let us see beyond our eyes and for once vote wisely.

  116. Dont be jelours with as you all know from deep down your hearts that we are Good in everything GO, TONGAS GO HH, GO UPND
    ENOUGH OF THIEVES THIS TIME WE WILL SEE.

  117. the sad fact, gentle people of this forum, is that if akulu mphuno, rb, nyama soya is voted into office, the issue of salaries and allowances will come back “better, bigger and brighter”. you should have read what one felix lwipa puma, deputy minister of health, said at some forum a few days ago. amaboys bakalafola k35m per month when teachers can’t get k12m per year. efinshi ifi nomba? reject the mmd mwebantu. no more nyama soya. viva real meat.

  118. Zambia stinks! why all this tribal hatred? do you people go to your villages and see how your relatives suffer? go to luapula and see those fishermen with torn closses feeding on tute all year round and then be sobber. For all I care, next time there should be no Tonga or Bemba candidate…you guys have lost it! Tongas are a proud bunch and Bembas are thieves…these are facts, lets face it. what logic is in supporting Sata…tell him to go and collect his USD27,000 that was confiscated in South Africa….your preseident, my foot!

  119. scrap of which salaries, in your dreams. now is no time for a Tonga to rule us. Tongas are too stingy and adulterous

  120. This comment is for # 161 Wafya na Panga and # 171 so-called Professor Akulu Mpuno. I want to remind you that the date today is 19th October 2008 and not 19th 0ctober 1807.THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY AND NOT THE STONE AGE OR IRON AGE. IT IS THE TECHNOLOGY AGE.
    With all the education that your Parents, Guardians or even the State spent on you, your level of thinking is so pathetic that it belongs to Homo Habilisis’s time. As Zambian’s We need to rise abocve petty and non-sensical Tribal thinking if We are to develop our dear Country.

  121. For some reason Sata’s people are staying at home. Is it because he is not attracting them this time around? Has he lost his sparkle? Is it because his negative campaigning is annoying even his own supporters? Are his policy u-turns driving people away? And more worryingly why is he being hammered in both the rural and urban areas? Who knows, and quite and frankly who cares, but I’ll bet a few kwacha that Sata is a very worried man; the people are rejecting him. Also HH don’t be happy and big headed.Akulu mpuno you will finish the air and we might suffocate,vote wisely abena zambia.we depend on you.

  122. This HH guy does not attract a lot of attention just look at the number of comments from yesterday if it was sata you could have seen a different scenario. Their difference is like between night and day

  123. Come 31 october am going to state house! Am very proud to be married to a Tonga man because he is a love Machine. Go HHHHHHHHHH

  124. #177 and #173 you just enjoy your stay there coz you wnt even vote .viva hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.if you want you can die cozz hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.is having plot 1.

  125. This man HH is very intelligent he knows where to touch to make education free. On fertilizer he intend to produce within zambia to reduce the costs of imports and transportation. He does not talk in vain like sata. Wake up zed people we lost on Mazoka and appreciated him in death. Lets remove the jealous of his money and think positive in life. The man HH is an actor and a thinker. Vote hh the gentle guy we need a goog future abash time wasters. PAKWANJA CHABE, PAKUBOKO, FALIZOHO.

  126. #I have received intelligence report from home (Zambia) indicating that people on the CB Province are aware of the implications of putting Sata in Plot 1 and have since changed their minds to support the WINNING TEAM of ecHi-ecHi. The ecHi-ecHi WINNING TEAM has also take Lusaka Province by storm.

    “Wina azanena YES pakathi pa NO!” on 30th October 2008.

    Countdown: 10 days 4 hours remaining and we are counting.
    Vote for ecHi-ecHi for a safe political, social and economic atmosphere.

  127. meastro lives in a vacuum ,he cant read the handwritting on the wall.hh was given an opportunity to divide the spoils to the zambians and he pocketed everything.education sometimes is not every thing.note how the boat under captain sata keeps on gaining stability by the day

  128. #183, ndolic, what ground is Sata and his PF (ubwato) gaining and where is this happening? I tell you the truth, Sata has lost ground and he knows this fact. That is why the undereducated Sata wanted to use HH to win this election, but HH is cleaver becuase of being educated.
    I am advising all PF supporters not to say that I, M H, did not warn them about the results when the results will be posted on the various polling stations doors on 2st November 2008.
    This (1964 – 2001) propaganda that Sata is thriving on about RIGGING and him gaining ground will not pay at the end of it all. I have relaible info. that CB is slowly changing to HH’s favour. The Easterners will do RBB good in Lusaka.
